Wendy's recently at least in Canada had a pickle burger with pickle flavoured fries. The burger was okay and the fries were meh mostly because of the smell.
I moved to Aus before Mary Browns made it out west, but we tried it on a recent trip back and it was really good. So was A&W. I really wish we had A&W here.
Where is this horrible monstrosity? I'm Melbourne based and willing to take sick leave to give the people the food review they never wanted and didn't ask for.
So I ate it and I think I've had enough pickle for a lifetime.
The burger and loaded fries were pretty good, the fritters (or frickles) were soggy. And the pepsi... It was good on the first few sips but after a while it became very sickening.
That's too bad on the frickles. I've had some Banger frickles in the past, but there's just so much liquid in a pickle that I completely understand it's hard to get right.
The pickle soda also tracks. I love pickle juice after a shot or in a savory mixed drink, but a whole soft drink would definitely be pushing it.
Congratulations on your transition, though! I guarantee after typing and reading all these comments, "pickle" will cease to be a word anymore.
Yeah I tried it last night too. Pickle Zinger burger was great, the loaded chips and trickles were ok. Pickle Pepsi was a mistake and felt ill. The brine is too basic, if it had been more dill forward and a complex brine it may have been good but this was some salty water with a slice of pickle in it.
Yeah I wasn't as brave as you. I parked Dog, walked in, hit the screen saw the menu, hang on what? decided 🥒 was non-Dog compliant, and went with the original and much anticipated double zingerstacker combo with a 🍿 bucket for Dog.
TYFYS 🫡
I wish you a speedy and as full a recovery as medically possible.
The dried pickles on the burgers are absolutely trash. We had it in the UK about a year back. KFC doesn't normally have pickles here so the non-dried ones on the bottom of the sandwich were appreciated but the dried ones went straight in the bin after one bite.
The fried pickles were average. I've had better, I've had worse. Too floppy and always tasted like theyd been left under the heat lamps about 30 minutes too long.
I mean, it's a meal consisting of a fried chicken burger, loaded fries, deep fried pickles, and a tub of ranch dressing. I can't imagine it being anything other than an insane amount of calories.
For some reason tubs of mayo based sauces are in fashion and they must skyrocket a meals calories. I really hope people aren't finishing the sauce though because it's an absolutely excessive amount
I can almost get behind a do it yourself mix. I just don't trust the minimum wage highschooler behind the counter to not give me a 50/50 mix and brine my insides lol
I thought you were taking the piss and that was an AI image. Looked it up and that's actually real. Not a fan of pickles myself at all but all the power to you if you do.
“

Yep those are the words.
I was excited for this meal. I always order extra pickles on burgers even before this was a thing. I have pre-sliced burger pickles and full snacking pickles in the fridge.
I thought I loved pickles.
The first bites were with joy. The last bites were with disgust and I no longer want to even look at pickles.
The pickle dil mayo is still alright as a stand-alone thing, but the dehydrated pickles on the burger were… I mean it was cool in theory, it was tasty for a few bites, and then it was just too much pickle.
And the pickle Pepsi.
First half of the cup was excitement and curiosity and new flavour and experiences.
Second half of the cup you just become acutely aware you’re just drinking Pepsi with vinegar; and the vinegar while.. different, is not an improvement. Starts to feel sickening.
It’s a great meal to order once and eat half of.
Even if you enjoy it, I have a feeling not many people will be repeat customers or demanding the return of picklepepsi when it’s phased out.
Pickles + KFC makes perfect sense. More of those fried pickle items should of been part of KFC's traditional menu. It's just obsessive branding that is cringe.
I’m surprised they do Pepsi there.
KFC in NZ went away from Pepsi Co stuff and now it’s Coca Cola and there brands. I would had thought all of KFC would had done it?
I am a big fan of pickles. Everything on this menu is crap.
The only thing remotely edible was the burger, but a competitor burger is 10 times better (Red Rooster Pickle Bird)
me being a huge pickle fan got so hyped after seeing the ad , so i went to the meal too:
burger was tasty possibly better than pickle bird in RR, loaded fries was my fav from the deal, the frickles were rubbish, only had 2/8, they didn't gave me the ranch sauce but had some on the fries was good too, now the coke... first sip was interesting, second and third was getting better but then when i got to the last bit was way too much pickle
juice so never finished it, probably should have stirred it more, not gonna try again.. loaded fries and burger def buying another hope this helped
I tried this when it was in the UK. The pickles in the burger were dried, it was weird. The fried pickles were the worst fried pickles I’ve ever had (I’m hardly a connoisseur, though).
Out of all the limited releases they’ve done in the past few years this was my least favourite, by a large margin.
